Re: Saxons v Wolfies
2 terrible passes but Gilroy should have held onto it.
Shambles all round
Copeland coming more into it with the mauls

Try Madigan, he's running well but that's about it.

Re: Saxons v Wolfies
Madigans ability to shut down the rest of a backline is shocking, I know it can work for him exceptionally well but against a backline aware of the trick we will have serious issues.

Re: Saxons v Wolfies
Great tackle from Hendo there. Could do with getting his bap cut again to look a bit more menacing.

Re: Saxons v Wolfies
It makes me sad to watch Henderson grafting in the 2nd row when he's an outstanding back row forward.
Re: Saxons v Wolfies
Hendo showing some good aggression and speed - hard for him not to get at least on bench for 6 nations. Herring doing good. Cave not getting a single decent pass and Gilly a nightmare pass that he had about a 30% chance of catching- wonder if he will be thrown to the wolves of the Irish press for giving away a try

Re: Saxons v Wolfies
Shame for Herring, Ireland really need a longer "A" series

Re: Saxons v Wolfies
Just heard Eddie O'Sullivan on RTE radio (trying to find Wolfies) regurgitate the Tom Court v England spiel. I'm paraphrasing here, but not by much. Discussing the tough away trip to Twickenham this 6N, "Do you remember a few years ago, England destroyed the scrum. Tom Court was thrashed at the scrum, he went off & they lost easily."
Now, my memory is that Mike Ross played about 20 mins, was hammered in the scrum, got himself injured (played the next week for Leinster I think?) and TC came on as a tighthead whereby the thrashing continued. Eddie IMO was always an arrogant bluffer but this is pure lazy bu!!sh¡t (unless he is right, of course). I hope Dr Dave was listening as he seemed to be at Ravenhill too often for my liking.

Re: Saxons v Wolfies
Try listening to Barnes - barely knows any of the Irish players names, talks up england player constantly
Am I the only one to wish that games like this came to Ravenhill? Even in the rain I would say it would be a sell out

The word that he was after was provinces rather than creating "the Irish Regions"
